Default bolt on questions

I got full exhaust, pulley, stall, lid, maf, and 3.73's

Would a bigger tb/manifold benifit me? if so what would be the most benificial? my goal is to end up with about 450 rwhp. I know i got to get heads and cam if not more but i am trying to nock out all the small stuff first.

an LS6 intake( if u dont have an 01 or 02 since they came w/ 1 from the factory) and a ported stock TB would net you about 10rwhp right now but once u get the H/C setup they'll benefit you more. With the right setup and tune u'll hit 450rwhp easy w/ locked verter. Could also look at the LSX and NX intakes/TBs but they're way more expensive
im guessin from ur screen name that you have an 02 model so all you'd need is the ported TB and i hear Bo White is a good TB porter as well as others. Expect to pay about $120-$140 for a new one
Might wanna ditch ur aftermarket maf and put the stock piece back on cuz it'll be easier to tune
